This is where playing defense comes in to play. But taking any damage will reset the combo counter, and you cannot just endlessly mash buttons, as each exemplar has a cooldown between attacks. By chaining attacks together with the exemplars mapped to the corresponding buttons the combo counter will increase and allow the exemplars to use their deathblows, powerful skills with additional effects. Wielding her exemplars is a delicate balance between offense and defense. These spells can damage enemies, heal her own units, or revive fallen comrades, but if her defenses fail, she’s in for a quick death. The twist here is that Cecille herself doesn’t do the fighting, but is able to cast spells from her talking grimoire (which has quite a mouth, and insatiable hunger for human souls). Armed with the souls of heroes past, Cecille is able to defend herself in combat. In between story beats it’s a non-stop fight against hordes of enemies. Fallen Legion is an excellent homage that adds a few new interesting mechanics. The big hook of this game is its combat, which borrows heavily from the Enix classic, Valkyrie Profile.

Her battle, and my choices would either save or destroy the Kingdom of Fenumia. With the grimoire he once possessed now in her hands, she must balance the politics of the kingdom, while also stopping a coup by the Legatus who betrayed her, Laendur.

Under the new title of Fallen Legion+, this PC package includes the base game, Fallen Legion: Sins of an Empire, which follows the story of Princess Cecille as she fights against both family and foe after the unexpected death of her father, King of Fenumia. Any game that’s going to offer me a combat system that’s similar to Valkyrie Profile is going to get my attention, and after the disappointment that was Exist Archive, I was tentatively excited for Fallen Legion. This game was released back in the summer for the PS4/PS Vita, and while I bought it at launch, I never once fired it up on either console, and that’s a shame because I was hooked by this game at glance.


However, there was one title through the year I tried not to ignore, Fallen Legion.

Unfortunately the AAA game space released a few too many good games that ate up my time. I sort of failed in my efforts to find more Indie games in 2017.
